How often do you do the whole 'ohhhh I am going to be good this week.....starting Monday I am going to just eat salads and tuna for lunch and just take carrot and celery sticks to work for snacks, steamed broccoli with poached chicken for dinner.....' BLAH BLAH BLAH. WTF??? Are we in isolation camp? Why do you wanna wake up and hate yourself everyday?? HAHAHA I say that's bbbbbbbbbbssssssss!!!
This is my theory.....set yourself up with amazable flavours so you feel satisfied. None of this taste bud deprivation shit. You can stick to this kind of healthy eating, hell I do. But it's all about making plain vegetables exciting. Here are 2 dips that are stupid easy to make to that you can enjoy with your veggie sticks snacks and also 2 dressings that you should make at the start of the week in a bigger batch so you can just mix and match with what ever salad you want to quickly prepare! I almost never make the same recipes more than once or twice, but OMG my Creamy spiced tahini dressing that Nouveau Raw gave me inspiration for is my new go to!!!

| When life (or your buddies) give you lemons, make a lemon dressing |
*You can store these dressings jars in the fridge so you you have them ready to go. Even if you only have 2 ingredients for your salad, if you mix one of these babies with it I guarantee explosiveness in your mouth!!!
